Question:
You know, I’m curious. Are you Rob Wilkens? or Rob Wilken? Because you have issued mail via hotmail from both those names. How can one know who you are if you use several names?
Response:
My hotmail accounts are closed by someone else. Any mail you receive from a hotmail user is *not* from me. I’m rob wilkens. The only valid hotmail accounts I’ve ever had are mail from anyone else, it is fake. -Rob

Response:
This is getting silly, if someone is sending mail using a hotmail account under my name, I may have to go after microsoft as well to reveal their users identities and/or take them to court for not having the information. Why does someone here insist on tearing apart all of the open communication standards by abusing them like this? To quote an old grade-school teacher "you’re ruining it for everyone else." -Rob this posting to alt.support.depression.manic has been cc:’d to contact me using information at http://members.bellatlantic.net/~rwilkens if they need to contact me, but so no one tries to impersonate msn hotmail to get personal information from me, they will have to give me a number where I can return the call to them if they do call so I can verify it is them. PS: I think I’ve seen Rob__wilkens (two underscores) from hotmail, and rob_wilken (no s) from hotmail. These are BOTH fake, and I suspect there are others. At this point, my two real hotmail accounts had been closed for happens I can no longer use the PASSPORT to gain access to (a) mobile.msn.com – where my settings for cell phone messages are, or (b) moneycentral.msn.com where my ACCOUNT and INVESTMENT information is stored. I suppose, and disavow all use of hotmail. In

Response:
Well, Mr. Wizard, If it’s simply about being concise, why don’t we use the whole alphabet and represent even more bits? 5, for example? Call it base-32? 5 bits would cover the numbers 0-31.. 0=0 1=1 2=2 3=3 4=4 5=5 6=6 7=7 8=8 9=9 A=10 B=11 C=12 D=13 E=14 F=15 G=16 H=17 I=18 J=19 K=20 L=21 M=22 N=23 O=24 P=25 Q=26 R=27 S=28 T=29 U=30 V=31 -Rob

"hex language" 
Cute. "Hex" = Hexadecimal = Base-16 numbers. We use base-10. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 are our digits Base-16 is 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F I could write my own hex editor in Delphi, I’m a software developer, by the way. -Rob

Response:
I didn’t post at all today (well, not until I got home from work), and wrote nothing about hex editors.. Check your sources. Norton disk editor is a hex editor, it comes with Norton Utilties. I said that earlier A header tells me which service the message came from, I never claimed to know "who" posted "what" for certain. I used laws of probabilties to make my guesses. -Rob

1. I’m not the culprit. I have proof otherwise. 2. I do have a Penitum III and a Celeron. I think the processor serial number is enabled, but I don’t think it’s used by my newsreader in any meaninful way, and even then – don’t you think that could be forged? -Rob

A hex editor edits hex language. Machine code for those who know what that is. Only instead of 0, 1 and 2, (base 2), hex is either base 6 or base 8–Icant remember which–it uses weird characters.

Because byte means 8 bits. There are terms for 32 bits. Depending on the language, compiler, or platform it could be integer, long integer, word, long word, etc.

This kind of thing happens all the time, but most people don’t whine about it. I’m sure it would have stopped long ago if you had just ignored it.

Hey Mr Wilkies, little billy is at work at the power plant and he took his laptop with him, Now I know how you and little billy like to have laughs on the computter, but at the power plant they do not let little billy use the telephone anymore, so you will have to stop your fun for awhile. Billy has to make electric so you city folks can stay up all night carrying on all sorts of fun. If you want to talk to me you can, O shucks, little billy forgot to bring his salt peter tablets that the doctor gave him to work with him. He need to take them in the spring time. How about you Mr Wilkies do you tak them salt peter tablets. Maybe you could run over to the power plant and give a few to little billy. Ican’t do it today caus I gotta go annoy the fishes ( he he he haw) You have a nice day Mr Wilkies, don’t use so much electric OK. your friend Big Billy

Hey there Mr Wilkies, this is big billy, I bothered two carp and a 40# cat today. It was real nice I don’t mind the rain near as much as the fish, haw haw. I ain’t talked to little billy since the other day, I will tell him all about that computer stuff they go out now, now don’t you send me no mail noway caus the folks at the post office are holding it on a desktop, whatever that means, little billy says for me to tell that to folks. Its real nice to see little billy have a friend again, one that is with less than four legs that is, haw haw haw. After little billy went to the city to have the procedure done all he done was sit on the river bank where the water spins and spins around, maw said it gave her the whillies to see him down there day after day. You like to set by the river Mr Wilkies? You me and billy could go a fishing when he gets back. He will squeal like a hog when he sees my 40# cat, he is still excitable even when he takes them salt peter tablets, I am a fearin for him at the plant with no tablets, the doctor said he must always take the saltpeter tablets so his spells do not come back, Do you have spells Mr wilkes? little billy was sure enough a dangerous man when them spell come on, when he was a was a youngen. Its better now, the doctors don rite by little billy. I am glad to see you are little billys friend, he needs a friend real bad what with us on rotation at the power plant. I know why you like little billy he is a soft sweet man. After the procedure, Mr Domenochi let little billy set in front of the general store with the old timers, for the first time, they laughed at him and called him names, Little billy ain’t no gomer I can tell you that. I do not know why people can do so downright mean. I cant wait to tell little billy you said hey. Say hey to all the folks in the big city, boy. Your new friend Big Billy

No need to make electricity for me, thank you, but the rest of the world will still need it, and here’s why: Yesterday, I received the car adapter which allows me to plug into the cigarette lighter and have a regular 3-prong adapter giving power (purchased from igo.com – item 2135). When I’m ready, I’ll probably be signing up with "Go America" who had an ad in the NY times a few days ago.. $379 for the wireless modem (a Sierra Air<something> 300 pcmcia modem), The service is $59.95/month, and a one year contract, speed are 19.2k which is fast enough. No roaming fees, No charges for time use (flat rate per month, nationwide, but they’re not in atlanta and one other major market – though they are here in levittown and I think they said there were 3 antennae’s in this town). With that, I don’t even need a house/apartment which means no property taxes if I don’t want to pay them (of course, I don’t think I want to live out of my car). When I get that modem, and since I have the power adapter for my laptop (i.e. alternator in car is my electric company), guess what : .. Suddenly the electric bill is included with my gas bill (putting your company and related companies out of business). I also become less reliant on owning land property, since I can have all my bills sent to one of those online bill payment services. I can then sign up with ‘citi financial/interactive’ [citibank subsidiary] which is online-only (www.citifi.com), along with something like www.paytrust.com , who will receive all of my bills at their address and post them online for me. Suddenly, I don’t need a home address anymore, neat huh? The internet is really really improving the world — but first thing to do is for me to set a precent by suing the person who falsified my identity. If the internet is ever to be trustworthy, it’s users must be held to certain ethical standards, and punsihed if they don’t. That doesn’t mean to always "play nice", but it does mean "play honest." The world is changing, and I’m changing with it. -Rob

Rob, I have resisted saying this–but I’ve seen way too many posts today that demonstrate you know little about certain parts of internet technology. For instance, using only ONE header to demonstrate who posted something–you have to verifythe header with other headers before you know what you have. And, your bogus list of hex editors. None of the prgrams you listed was a hex editor. I could go on an on and on. The bottom line is,my 16 year old son knows tons more than you do. He is A+ certified, he works 3 jobs. 1) taco bell, 2)provate computer consulting and 3) he does trouble shooting and upgrades for the local high schools. And part of how he earns his allowance is to maintain our LAN system and DSL service. He installed win2000–he knows how it works–you appear not to. I have to agree with this poster that you often post about things you really do not have a clue about. Maybe you need more computer and interpersonal skills classes?

Response:
Unlike a text editor which only allows you to edit a file in the abstract, where it appears that a file contains letters and numbers and such, a hex editor allows you to edit a file (or disk or whatever) the way it’s stored. Each letter is represented by 8 or 16 (typically) bits (binary digits). Hexadecimal is a more concise way of representing binary, as each digit (0-9 and A-F) represents 4 bits. (e.g. 0 is 0000, 5 is 0101, F is 1111.) It would be like having word keys on your keyboard, so you could type a whole word instead of each letter.
